Docking

Work commenced in October 2011 for a new $25 million boat harbour at Flat Rock, about four kilometres south of the town of Augusta, in Flinders Bay. A sheltered boating facility was very much needed here.

The project included the construction of two breakwaters built to create a protected harbour basin accommodating a four-lane boat launching ramp; two boat-holding jetties; and a service jetty.

Yacht Clubs

New Augusta boat harbour is now complete.The facilities will not have a full-time staff member and currently the Western Aus was taking applications for the job.
